This flashcard describes a complement-regulatory protein. It inactivates the classical pathway C3 convertase on host cells by removing C2a from the C4bC2a complex. This protein specifically binds C4b on host cells, not on pathogens.
Un proteina reguladora del complemento que inactiva la convertasa C3 de la vía clásica formada en células huésped al desplazar C2a del complejo C4bC2a. Esta proteína reguladora del complemento se une a C4b adherido a células huésped, pero no puede unirse a C4b adherido a patógenos.
| Front | A complement-regulatory protein that inactivates the classical pathway C3 convertase formed on host cells by displacing C2a from the C4bC2a complex. This complement-regulatory protein binds C4b attached to host cells, but cannot bind C4b attached to pathogens |
